“My name’s Jim Shelley and I’m an addict(有瘾的人)…”
With these words I began to face the problem, the problem of my telephone addiction. I used to call people all the time, from the moment I woke up to the time I went to sleep. I waited to be phoned, I wanted to phone. Just one more call.
It started socially — a few calls each day. It seemed fine, just a quick chat. Gradually though, the situation got worse. Soon it was frequent use, until, finally, addiction.
And it began to affect(影响) my work. During the day I would disappear for a quick call. If I couldn’t make a call, I spent the whole time waiting for the phone to ring. Getting more and moreanxious, in the end, I would ring someone, then someone else, telling myself just one more call.
I was phoning people and leaving messages to make sure enough calls would see me through the day. I used to arrive at friends’ homes and before the door was closed, go straight for the phone with the words “Is it OK if I just use the phone…?” At work, I became mad when my fellow workers tried to stop me from using the phone. And one day I hit my boss (with the phone). Finally, the police caught me destroying a phone box that had taken my last one pound coin, and I was ordered to see a psychiatrist(心理医生).
I haven’t had a phone in the house for three weeks now, and it’s several days since I used a phone box. I try not to watch TV because there are always people on it making phone calls. My name is Jim Shelley and I am an addict.
